BARCELONA, Aug 27 — Spain women’s coach Jorge Vilda criticised the behaviour of suspended federation chief Luis Rubiales yesterday, after 81 players went on strike and the majority of his coaching staff offered to resign.
Spanish football federation president Rubiales has been widely criticised for kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips as the Spanish team celebrated winning the Women’s World Cup in Sydney last Sunday. Hermoso says she did not consent to being kissed by Rubiales but the 46-year-old federation head says the kiss was “consensual”.The coach was seen applauding Rubiales during a fiery speech on Friday in which he refused to resign and railed against “false feminism”.
